RV REVIEW
ELIM BEACH
The coloured sands of Elim Beach are not to be missed. They rival that of Rainbow Beach, near Fraser Island, for colour variance, vibrance and range along the couple of kilometres of coastline.
While we didn ' t drive on the beach because the tide was too high, it is possible to take your 4WD on the beach at lower tides. We spent a couple of hours wandering the coastline, marvelling at the high colour dunes sweeping around the remote beach.
The remains of one poor soul ' s 4WD, which we spotted rusting away on the beach, serves as a reminder of what can go wrong while driving on our beaches.
The Elim Beach Campground, or Eddie ' s Camp, is about a 15- minute drive away and offers unpowered beachside camping, as well as shaded sites set back in the shade. An amenities block provides showers and toilets, and there’ s a basic camp kitchen to wash dishes and yarn with other travellers.
Cape Bedford is another place worth visiting while camped at Eddies, though some serious 4WDing is required to get here.
